NOTES.

Cincinnati offered -, 900 for Ramsey and
only $1,000 for Heckcr. These offers were
treated with silent contempt by Louis
willie.
President Young has appointed Bob
Ferguson 4 League umpire. Robert is 4
heap more successful Us an umpire than rs
4 manager.
In Mondays Washington game the great
Kelly distinguished himself by making
three ''Smalr' errors, rs the Boston scrihcs
would term it.
CookSays Chamberlain throws the hard
est ball hc ever tried to catch. His in
shoots fall in the pitchers hands like lead,
aud they are dalllingly swift.
Cushman has not been released from the
the Metropolitan club. lie was offered to
the CIeyelands some time ago, but the Met
ropolitans want to keep him now.
Mike Kelly is showing that the $40, O00
invested IN him was not thrown away. He
is covering second base in a style calculated
to make Mr.. Dunlap feel Just 4 little
c%uvious.
Ferguson complains of 4 lame knee after
pitching. He said Sunday that unless the
limb ceased painiug him he would soon he
obliged to quit pitching. lie las. the
trouble to the new rules. which prevents
him from raising his left foot and wrenches
the knee every time he delivers the ball.
Captain HanlOn, of the DetroitS, says
that the BOstOns are the weakest batting
team they have vet encountered. This
disparagin" remark will CRATE on the SEN
Sitive nerves OF Kelly and Morrill,, and
they will cndeayor to make the fur fly
when they visit Detroit. And it Is more
than probable they will show the Michi-
gan pcnaut wOrshippers that HanlOn is
decidedly OF in his pretended estimate of
their batting strength.
Dave Orr is extremely unfortunate.
Scarcely had he recovered from the injury
received at Baltimore until he met with
another. He attempted to steal second
base in the game with Cleveland last Fri
day. and burstcd a blood vessel in his left
leg. He had TO be carried from the field,
and it is thought that it will be some
weeks before he Is in fit condition to play.
Thus two months of the season will have
passed in which the Nets were deprived of
the services of their best man.
In spite of his lack Of affection for Null
lane, President Stern evidently knows and
appreciates Tony's value, as he has said lie
would not take SO, 600 for his release.
Nor is he likely to nave the opportunity
of refusing such IN amount. 4 balky in
diyidual like Mullane could scarcely com-
mand that figure unless his sale was ac-
companied by an absolute guarantee that
he would play the season through without
kicking over the traces.

A CONVICT EARNS HIS LIBERTY.
The Reward of a Deed of Bravery and De-
vOtiOn.

[Joliet Despatch in Chicago Tribune.J
William Raab, convicted in 1880 of
| the murder of rival for the affections
| of girl of DanviIle. was released from
| prison to day. He was sentenced to
the penitentiary for life, but his sentence
was reduced by Gov. Hamilton to ten
years for bravery in saving prison of
ticials life. When Raab reached the
Joliet prison he was placed in the har-
ness shop, and worked side by side with
the notorious bandit and desperate,
Frank Rande, the murderer of thirteen
persons, who was also serving a life's
sentence for killing five persons at St.
Elmo and Tilman, III. The two life
convicts got along nicely together and
worked at adjoining benches for nearly
four years. March, 1884, Rande at
tackled Capt. John Mcdonald, then
deputy warden of the prison, as he was
on his rounds inspecting the prison
shops. Rande crushed the officers
skull with poker. He then turned
upon the deputy warden again with the
intention of drawing knife across the
fallen mans throat, but at this moment
Raab sprang forward, and throwing his
arms around Rande, lifted him high in
the air and threw him half way across
the shop. Raab then clutched Randes
throat. and would have surely chOked
the life out of him had not humble of
prison officials appeared upon the scene.
The tumult in the shop by this time was
very exciting. A hundred convicts with
knives and hammers in their hands had
gathered about Rande and Raab, yelling
to Raab to kill Rande or to let them
have chance at him. One of the Of
tcials then ordered Raab to let Rande !
up and attempted to take Rande to the !
solitary" AS they passed work |
bench Rande caught up Ratchet, with |
which he aimed a blow at the officer, |
but the latter struck Rande a crushing !
blow in the face with his heavy cane. |
This served to drive Rande into q per |
fectly insane rage and he struck right
and left with his Ratchet, both at CON
victs and officers. Ed. Mcdonald, the
deputy-H arden's brother, at this moment
entered the shop door, revolver in hand,
and, taking deliberate aim at Rande,
shot HIM, the bail taking effect behind
the ear, and he fell to the floor like a
dead man. He was carried to the hos
pital, where it was found that he was
not dead. After weeks treatment by
the prison physician he was taken to the
solitary and locked up. Rande never
knew but that his blow had killed the
deputy-warden, and after remaining in
the solitary few days he committed
suicide by hanging himself.
Deputy Warden Mcdonald, though in
a precarious condition for many months
ter the terrible assault on him, finally
recovered sufficiently to resume his
duties. OF course, William Raab, the
life convict, was the hero of the day,
for he undoubtedly saved McDonald's
life, and as a reward for his brave act
Gov. Hamilton committed his sentence.
Raab will return to Nermilion County
and hurt up the girl of his heart, and
may yet marry her. He has always
claimed to be innocent of the murder
which sent him to Joliet
